Belarusian heraldry

Belarusian heraldry is a special way of creating pictures to represent important things from Belarus. It's like making a special drawing that tells a story about Belarusian history, culture, and important people.

Imagine you have a favorite T-shirt with your favorite superhero on it. That's kind of like Belarusian heraldry. Except, instead of a superhero, it's an image that shows important things about Belarus. These images are usually on a shield shape, like a coat of arms.

For example, one of the most recognizable symbols in Belarusian heraldry is the white knight on a horse. This represents a real Belarusian hero named Vitaut, who fought off invaders many years ago. Another common symbol is a flowering plant called a flax flower. This represents the important role that flax played in Belarusian history and culture.

All of these images tell a story about important things from Belarusian history and culture. They're like special signs that remind people about the past and what makes Belarus special.
